Resort condos collapse into sinkhole

By:

No one was injured in the collapse, which caused major damage to the Summer Bay Resort in Clermont, Fla.

Dozens of guests had about 10 minutes to evacuate the stricken part of the building, as windows began breaking and cracks appeared in the structure. The bulk of the building collapsed about five hours later - around 3 a.m. today.

The sinkhole is about 50 feet wide and 15 feet deep.

Guests displaced by the collapse were relocated to adjacent buildings. Clermont is about a half hour from Walt Disney World property.
